Impact wrestling thread - It's a Don West tribute thread now!

I could name them all except the guy on the left of EC3 and the one to the left of Mark Andrews.

 

For all their troubles, they've still got a remarkably decent roster.

[Loki]

I agree - I'm surprised at how decent that roster is, even without Jeffrey Hardy.

 

Is that Brodus Clay or whatever his name is?  How long has he been in TNA?  And how far has Mr Anderson fallen?  Hardly noticed him first time.

Brodus is Tyrus in TNA. Debuted a few of weeks before the Spike deal ended. Not seen him do much except stand behind EC3 but he looks good doing it.

Mahabali Shera (Ring Ka King champ) and Chris Melendez (one-legged dude).

 Chris Melendez (one-legged dude).

 

At least someone has a leg to stand on in this company.

 

 

Ian out.

[Jon-Carr_92]

Coming up to the Manchester show. Got Fan InterAction again as well. Enjoyed it last year in Birmingham, so I'm bringing my programme I got signed last year in case if there's anyone in it I didn't get to meet last time.

 

It's a huge lineup. Angle wasn't at Jokers Wild. So that is going to be well worth the wait!

[WyattSheepMask]

The updated attendance for this month's TNA Impact Wrestling tapings at the Manhattan Center in New York City is 500 fans for Wednesday night, 325 fans for Thursday night and a sellout of 1,100 fans on Friday night.

325! In New York fucking City!? That's beyond pathetic

[King Pitcos]

How much were the tickets? That's such a bad turnout. Running three nights in a row like that cuts down on your numbers I suppose, but you'd think there'd be well over 300 fans in New York who'd have gone to them all.

[WyattSheepMask]

I seem to recall reading tickets were around $20, which is around £13 at the minute

[simonworden]

The way TNA market the shows and put on 3 nights in a row that's OK numbers I guess. Especially in a city with plenty to do. Friday night is of course a weekend night which helps for many reasons. Next time run just Friday or Friday and Saturday I say if TNA really care about filling the place.

 

Surely they need to find 3-4 cheap venues and run those for at max 2 night stints? - says someone for the 1000000000000th time

Running three nights means only having to fly in the crew once, so there's a big saving there. Only running two nights in a row would mean more tapings, more travel costs etc. I don't know that the extra ticket sales would make up the difference, especially as there wouldn't be any extra ticket sales because shitty TNA wouldn't advertise the show at all.

[Buzz Lightyear]

300 fans at $20 a ticket is a joke, but you could argue the bigger concern is the fact they only had 500 fans for the relaunch show which featured the World Title rematch. As mentioned on here last week they've had millions of $'s invested into the company & they're drawing less numbers than they were back in Nashville.

 

Dixie's a joke. She out of touch with what wrestling fans want & refuses to accept responsibility for the mess she's made.

[Syl]

Tickets were $20-$95.

Completely agree. Whoever is in charge of pr/marketing at TNA needs a rocket up their arse. Whilst not the best, the TV really isn't that bad (in my opinion), but there is no buzz about it at all.

After the last page where people didn't know who the fuck TNA 'stars' were I've decided to go meta and bring WCW's Personality, Familiarity and Likeability Ratings to TNA for a titter. I've setup a survey over at - https://jfe.qualtrics.com/form/SV_bQx9WxhrE4EG7wV so feel free to give it a crack. If there's enough people that do it I should be able to give you a load of juicy STATS! and also do a comparision to 2000 WCW.

 

It will be the most fun afternoon ever.
